OK, so here is another I have. It goes back to 2010 when we first got the X-15. Prior to that we had been using an Bayliner for about a little more than a year. My son was taking advantage of the bigger wake and getting more height than he was use to. The new ability to get some extra height the first few times seem to really spook him. The end result is that he would bug out just before landing and many times have the position as in the picture. Worse yet he would also flap him arms right after he let go of the handle - he looked like a bird trying to fly but couldn't. The good thing is that he would always take the aborted landing quite well so he never got hurt; just looking at this picture you would never assume that.

First shot is a neighbor's first attempt at a tantrum. The rest are a buddy who is just a bit new to the sport. Ruptured an ear drum last year, so the helmet is a must. Gotta say that he has a blast, which is what makes me smile when I see any of these. I know the last one is on a ski, but I still had to post it.
